The stealth gameplay is streamlined to the point where it undercuts any challange that could present itself, while the action sequences will leave you wishing for any sort of game that is actually built around action.
This game is a victim of wanting to please the most common denominator, while retaining long time fans, which instead left it in a state where it appeals to no one, because it does nothing exceptionally well and the only things left standing out are its ugly warts.
